Xu Han's eyes were struggling, puffing out his mouth and panting like a cow.......

Suddenly, he scolded a few words loudly, picked up the bag on the ground and turned his head and walked out of the cave, "Xiying, follow me, let's not go, go home!" After a few steps, he couldn't hear the footsteps behind him, he immediately turned around and saw the little girl still standing at the entrance of the cave, showing a little stunned,

"What's the matter, girl, let's not go out, go home!" said and pulled Xiying back again. But unexpectedly, the little girl staggered away a few steps at this time, and after glancing at Xu Han crisply, she shook her head wildly, unwilling to leave.

Xu Han was even more stunned, and looked down at the girl's little face in a daze, not knowing what the purpose of Xiying's measures was......

"No! Mother and father said that if my brother didn't go to the high mountain, he would die, they said that Xiying should accompany her brother to go out, they said that Xiying and her brother should live outside, and they also wanted Xiying to take good care of her brother!" the little girl shouted loudly at Xu Han.......

The young man was stunned, he looked at Xiying who was angry at the bullfight, thinking that this girl knew everything, it turned out that Uncle Qiu, sister-in-law Qiu and everyone in the village had already known, and he was the only one in the dark.......

The little girl is a little ghost with a big waist, looking a little like her mother. After finishing speaking, Xiying closed her mouth and confronted the young man quietly and refused to compromise!

In the end, Xu Han moved. He stepped forward and squatted down to hold Xiying in his arms, but the little girl of the ghost refused to let him touch it at this time, and took two steps back with a scream, her back against the passage with a defensive face!

Xu Han smiled and spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, "Okay, okay, my brother promised you, we won't go home, my brother will take you out now, my brother will take you out of this place even if he is desperate!"

Xiao Xiying still couldn't hear the profound meaning in Xu Han's words, but she just understood that her husband seemed to be going to continue to move forward! She nodded emphatically and took the initiative to walk into Xu Han's arms, and after Xu Han picked her up, she stared at Xu Han's eyes, and said in a very serious tone in a childish voice,

"My husband must live!"

Xu Han's voice became even more hoarse, he looked back at the little girl, and seriously assured, "Xiying, don't worry, no matter what, brother, I will definitely live!"

The young man slanted his bag behind him, supported Xiao Xiying with both hands, turned around and looked deeply at the crystal staircase that flickered in the void, looked at its countless steps that went straight into the sky, and then sighed, and finally took a step..........

......................................................

Perhaps several hours had passed, Xu Han looked down, and only vaguely saw that the earth that carried everything had turned into a blurred gray shadow. He looked at it a few more times, and suddenly felt that the phantom in front of him was a little dizzy, coupled with mental fatigue, his limbs were sore and unbearable, and he accidentally fell forward and fell on the stairs to the sky.

Xiying is just a toddler, and she has long fallen asleep in the boy's arms. Now in this bump, the little girl's closed eyes suddenly moved, and then her body swayed from side to side, and slowly opened her eyes. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Xiying found that her husband was lying on top of her. She found it funny, and after grinning and letting out a string of silver bell-like laughter, she grabbed the young man's scattered long hair and leaned up to gnaw Xu Han's nose.......

"Whew........ Phew........"

Xu Han was already weak, so he was naturally a little impatient. He knelt down on the steps with his head tilted, carefully hugged Xiying down and clinged to the rock wall, then unloaded his pouch and sat on the outside.

"Old man, Xiying is hungry, Xiying wants to eat!" Xiao Xiying woke up and refused to rest for a moment, she dragged the young man to make trouble with herself.

Hearing what Xi Ying said, Xu Han also suddenly felt that his stomach was stirring non-stop, his throat was dry and seemed to be about to split, and he hadn't eaten for nearly a day when he thought about it, but there was still vitality flowing in this cave realm, and the slightest trace left under his breath was absorbed by his body, so he barely persevered until this moment.

Uncle Qiu and sister-in-law Qiu only brought a few changes of clothes for Xiying, and the rest were some bits and pieces. I think it's been negotiated with my parents a long time ago.

Untied his bag, the first thing that caught his eye was some clothes that He Nu had washed for him, and the residual fragrance made the young man's tired spirit a little uplifted. Lifting the neat folds of clothes, a box woven of bamboo strips of more than a foot up and down is eye-catching.

When I opened the box, there was a place of marinated jerky, dough and other foods. Xu Han was slightly silent, feeling touched. Because he had taken advantage of everyone, he never asked about the lion cub that Xu Han hunted. Unexpectedly, his parents and elders still quietly stuffed him.

Suddenly, Xu Han's eyes widened, and he looked at the yellow-colored teacup next to the pile of dried meat in disbelief, "This..... Isn't this the miraculous thing of the old ancestor that can turn into a Sumeru ring!"

I held it in my hand and looked back and forth for a long time, and I still couldn't believe it in my heart. Xu Han grew up beside the old man since he was a child, and the only thing he has seen around the old man for several years is this strange tea cup, and now the old man actually gave him this thing, which made the young man feel a little guilty, regretting that he shouldn't have spoken disrespectfully in front of the ancestor that day, and now that he has left the village, he has not gone to tell the old man goodbye.......

When the young man was secretly sad, Xiying didn't have so many emotions, she was holding the jerky in one hand, and the bread in the other hand was very happy, although the young spirit of the spirit lion was not its mother, but how to say that it was also the body of a spirit animal, and she didn't eat a few bites, the little girl burped, and then threw the remaining food in her hand into the box, and then went to snatch the young man's teacup, and drank it happily.

Xu Han didn't dare to let her sway so wantonly, the road was so far away, Xu Han didn't know how much water was filled in the ancestor's lamp, if it was consumed halfway, and begged for a happy death, Xu Han could only jump into the abyss with Xiying.

Xiying was very angry that Xu Han had taken the tea, and she couldn't get her wish for a long time, so she turned her back and lay on the stairs and went to sit on her sweet dream.....

Looking at the little girl whose breathing was gradually steady, Xu Han's eyes were a little warm. He lightly took out his shirt and covered her, and only relieved himself after a few layers of thick padding under him.

Then the young man silently picked up the half-leftover food that Xiying threw into the bamboo basket, put it in his mouth and chewed it, savoring the local flavor that may not be touched for many years......

I couldn't bear it anymore, Xu Han carefully took a few sips of water from the coarse porcelain cup to moisten his throat, and then quietly looked at the sideways Dongyuan in a daze, I didn't know what I was thinking, but I vaguely felt that the contours of the corners of the young man's eyes were a little heavier.......

Xiao Xiying, who was asleep, was still domineering, and the pensive Xu Han was kicked out of the silent realm by her. The young man smiled helplessly, took out the clothes belt and tied her to his waist, and then fixed himself on the cold rock wall, and then lay down and put half of his hands around the little girl.

"Good night, little one....."

He said, and slowly closed his eyes.........

..............................

The never-ending sedimentation and the seemingly never-ending staircase, Xu Han didn't know how long he had climbed, if it weren't for the company of Xiying by his side, it is estimated that he would have jumped down the bottomless staircase madly.

Does it seem like a month has passed, or is it two months?

Xu Han couldn't remember clearly, he walked silently on the shimmering crystal ladder with Xiying in his arms, and the road behind him was mottled with blood. The soles of his feet and knees were already rotten, staining all his clothes red......

The number of breaks is becoming more and more frequent, and every time he falls, the boy wants to close his eyes forever and never care about anything again, but there is a voice in his heart that always reminds him,

"You can't leave Sunset here....."

This voice supported Xu Han, who had collapsed, to get up again and again, moving his steps inch by inch and climbing up!

At first, Xu Han was still able to hold her in his arms, but then he could only see the little girl tied to her back, dragging the two of them with her hands......

I don't remember when Xiao Xiying started crying, it is impossible for such a young child to endure such endless torment, she cried to go back, she missed her father.....

There was even such a brief moment, Xu Han even wanted to jump down with Xiying in his arms to end this cruel journey, but fortunately he finally came to his senses, otherwise even if his soul entered the Nine Shadows and he was reincarnated as an animal for eternity, Xu Han would not be able to wash away this sin......

The little girl cried for a long time, until finally she was dumb and could no longer speak. But Xu Han has no choice, there are some roads you can choose to refuse, but if you set foot on it, then there is no room to turn back.....

Xiying was silent, and a mature seed seemed to sprout in her young heart. She finally understood a little bit how long Xu Han was talking about, it would really be a long and painful time. She didn't want Xu Han to carry her anymore, but used her hands and feet side by side with the young man, a little ..... A little.... The ground crawled forward until she could no longer climb an inch, and the boy carried her behind him again.

Even though Xu Han could draw some vitality from this cave to nourish his body, even if he only ate very little food every day, most of which was reserved for Xiying, the full bamboo basket still could not avoid the fate of gradually emptying. Fortunately, the two people in this teacup have not drunk it all, otherwise there will be two more dry corpses or two blood-colored flowers blooming in this eternal and unchanged cave world.....

Xu Han didn't know how long the remaining food was enough to support the two of them, so he had no choice.

The eyes seemed to be unable to open, and consciousness was always in a blur, but the body still moved forward according to its instinctive will, and it took a long time to step up each staircase......

The little girl was lying on Xu Han's back, as if she was asleep at this time, her originally pink and chubby cheeks had become dull and smooth, and she looked like she had suddenly grown a few years older..... In her deep sleep, her withered white lips were still squirming slightly, as if calling her father......

"Bang~"

After another fall, Xu Han's five bodies fell to the ground for a long time, and stream-like blood flowed down..... The little girl didn't wake up, she was used to this kind of movement.

Hehe, maybe this is to test yourself.....

There was still a faint consciousness active in the depths of the young man's mind, and he seemed to suddenly understand why the Gu Immortal would use such a stupid way to help the young man jump over the Divine Peak, maybe he was trying to test whether Xu Han had this qualification and this great perseverance......

If not, they will either continue to stay in the isolated village, or they will simply die on the way......

The old ancestor must have known, so what was he for? Is it also to test himself..... Xu Han can't see through it.....

Eventually, the boy moved. Contracted his painful legs and feet, and raised his head with his arms propped up......

There was a strange light flickering ahead, not the faint light of the crystalline staircase. The boy's eyes lit up a little, and he lay down on the stairs, pushing backwards with his feet, his arms reaching forward, and squirming forward at a snail-like pace...... Wriggle.......

Xu Han couldn't see how far this final journey was, and he didn't know how long it took, he only knew that he kept moving forward inch by inch.... Crawling minute by minute.....

Finally, the boy looked at the barrier, and then slowly looked back at the little girl lying behind him, grinning slightly.....

"Sunset...... My brother brought you out........" the boy said.

In the end, he took this step with all the strength of his body, and his body gradually collapsed......
